In other words, the sizes for my internal and external cards are swapped.

In this I have to disagree with Krisse. The explanation provided in the first post is, even if long, detailed on the right level.
What's needed is a noddy app, with no external dependencies, which checks the hardware revision and output of /proc/partitions, rejigs the partition map correctly and then prompts the user to use "Check Disk" on the card from a Windows box. Alternatively, bundle the app with its own copy of fsck which it calls to repair any corruption.
The only problem I have with the first post is the cyan colour used here and there, that isn't visible if you use ITT with the 'classic' theme.

I spent last night backing up and reformatting to fix this problem on my n810. One thing I would add is that if you are unlucky you may find that you have problems backing up the existing data. I connected my n810 to the PC using the USB cable, and ran chkdsk which found no problems, but one of the map data files wouldn't copy. The catch is that if you use Windows Explorer to try and copy all the files it will stop when it gets to an unreadable file. Fortunately the map data files are all easily downloadable again so losing one of those doesn't matter.
Anyway, I'd recommend using chkdsk first in case the disc is already corrupted, and xcopy rather than explorer to copy everything across to a PC for backup taking care at each stage to note any files which may be corrupted.

It was determined that my N810 is also corrupt. I cannot release (uncheck) my virtual memory. It gives me access denied therefore I cannot go any further with this fix. I was hoping to try the fdisk to format the internal memory card after successfully backing up all my data but couldn't get any further due to this error. Could someone tell me if I should just blow it away and start from scratch then try this fix or any other suggestions?

I disagree with Krisse too. I think putting them in the Newbie section is a bit funny (sorry) but the instructions are well layed out that there shouldn't be any problems.

Code:
swapoff /media/mmc2/.swap

If you talk about fdisk you probably can run stuff as root from command line. In that case run
and then try to reformat it from file manager. If file manager complains run mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk0p1 directly and reboot.Code:swapoff /media/mmc2/.swap
I am also getting a read only errors on my internal memory card.

2 ways of installing.
Use Linux machine to set rd-mode. So then you can be root anyway.
Set application manager to red pill and untick use mmc to download packages. Then you can install easyroot/gainroot.
